Re-use Multi CAD Data Easily

Synchronous Technology allows users to reuse data from other CAD systems without remodelling. Users can succeed in a multi-CAD environment with a fast, flexible system that enables them to edit other CAD system data faster than they can in the original system, regardless of the design methodology. A technique called ’suggestive selection’ automatically infers the [...]

CAD So Easy Anyone Can Use It

Synchronous Technology provides a new user interaction experience that simplifies CAD and makes 3D as easy to use as 2D. The interaction paradigm merges historically independent 2D and 3D environments, providing the robustness of a mature 3D modeller with the ease of 2D. New inference technology automatically infers common constraints and executes typical commands based on [...]

Make Design Changes Fast

Synchronous Technology automates the implementation of planned or unplanned design changes to seconds versus hours thorough unparalleled ease of editing, regardless of design origination, with or without the presence of a history tree.
The next release of Solid Edge due summer 2008 will include Synchronous Technology

Feature Article #4

Capture Ideas Fast

Synchronous Technology captures ideas as fast as the user thinks them, with up to 100 times faster design experience. Designers can devote more time to innovation with new techniques that provide the efficiency of parametric dimension-driven modelling without the computational overhead of pre-planned dependencies. The technology defines optionally persistent dimensions, parameters and design rules at [...]

User Interface Changes in Solid Edge ST2

There are many great enhancments in Solid Edge ST2, not least the new Synchronous sheet metal capabilities and the new Simulation module. However in this first post for ST2 I wanted to focus on one of the the most important elements that you first encounter as a user of Solid Edge - the User Interface.
When [...]

Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology 2 Announced

What’s better a Generation Two iPod or a Generation Seven iPod? Now I’m fortunate to have both of these devices. When I got my first Generation 2 iPod I thought it was fantastic, but recently after buying the latest Generation Seven version I realised what I’d been missing. I now had colour screen, [...]

Surely all 3D CAD systems have Synchronous Technology?

Since being released in 2008 Synchronous Technology has rightly received rave reviews from users, and pundits alike.
It addresses those questions we as users have been constantly striving to answer:

How can we change our design as quickly as we change our mind?
How can we capture ideas as soon as we think them?
How do we [...]

Converting Traditional to Synchronous

We have seen many great examples of Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology in action over the past few months. Most of these examples focus on either geometry that is purely synchronous or has been imported from another 3D Design solution such as SolidWorks or Inventor. Some previous posts which are worthy of a mention include - Imported Data, PMI [...]

Making Synchronous Design Changes in an Assembly

We have seen various posts and examples that demonstrate the benefits that Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology has when it comes to initial geometry creation or making fast flexible design changes. Some of these include:-
Unified 2D & 3D
Steering Wheel
Live Rules
PMI Dimensions
Editing Imported Data
However all of these examples focus on the creation and manipulation of geometry within [...]

SolidWorks and Synchronous Technology – Part One

If you are a SolidWorks user it is probably one of many tools that you use to perform your job. Others might include design guides and standards, reference books, analysis software and most certainly Google to name just a few.
We all have a “toolbox” containing our favourite tools but if you are like me we [...]

Discover the truth - Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology now shipping

Like me you may have been following all the attention Synchronous Technology has received since its launch in May 2008. Comments and opinions have been made in various marketing medias by those that “get it” and those that don’t. Some of those that don’t have inferred that it is just hype, smoke and [...]
